Financial services providers are having serious, board-room-level conversations about what’s next for workforce security. Every type of financial services provider faces the challenge of improving workforce productivity and satisfaction while maintaining the highest level of digital security. It’s a difficult balancing act to pull off, especially considering that the threat of breaches is at an all-time high. This isn’t a new problem, but the urgency to solve it continues to accelerate. Financial services institutions know they need a robust workforce security mechanism that mitigates the risks associated with credential theft and phishing attacks. However, legacy systems and the hybrid workforce complicate their security landscape. Deciding the “next steps” to proactively secure and enable the workforce is daunting, and this causes many organizations to behave reactively. Identity-powered security can be the secret sauce for that next step, laying the foundation for a strong security posture, better workforce UX, and higher productivity.
